Any other suggestions about somewhat intelligently using a handful (25k) Singapore miles during a time of non-travel?
Maybe email to ask them to extend the validity? Very unusual circumstances. From memory you can only pre-order for in-flight delivery up to 2 or 3 months in advance, not helpful when full service is 6 months away or more. Alternately, buy an easily resaleable item that will incur low shipping charge and sell it on. This may be the only way to get any value at all out of a voucher without shipping eating into the cost.
